Congrats on the top ten finish, and sorry to hear about the suicide casualty.
I learned something, too - I thought we weren't allowed to stitch exposure-bracketed images together in anything but Expert editing but I see from reading more into the rules that we can. Should help next time I shoot a wide-DR landscape for sure.

Unusual and interesting view of the bears drinking from the "edge" of the pond there.

Nice scene, I always wish I could be on vacation in the mountains while the leaves change colors like they are here. The exposure and tones look good. Not crazy about the tree jutting up in front of part of the mountain range though.

I guess this pond was "just right" for the 3 bears :) Love it

Pretty scene and I think the blur is just right: soft enough without losing the detail of the flow.

Fun photo ... seems more about the person than the food however.

Black bears (the species) avoid human contact. They run the other way when encountering a human. Totally gentle and mostly vegetarian. Not to be confused with grizzlies, brown bears and polar bears farther north. Those species do stalk humans, when they get a chance.

I'm not certain you have comforted me, but i appreciate the lesson very much. My rule will still be "if see bear, run and don't try to classify it!"

A view like this can only be a Hahn. While beautiful, I am not seeing the geometry in this. One could argue that the geometry is everywhere, in everything. But that is the problem with themed challenges. I think voters, for better or worse, respond better to specifity
